COVID-19
Dear
PediatriCare Associates Family:
AS WE
CAN NOT HOLD OUR ANNUAL FLU
CARNIVAL DURING THE COVID 19
PANDEMIC, WE WILL HOWEVER BE
HOLDING OUTDOOR FLU CLINICS AT
OUR WOODLAND PARK AND FAIRLAWN
OFFICE IN THE PARKING LOT.
PLEASE CALL TO ARRANGE AN
APPOINTMENT.
PediatriCare Associates
Outdoor Flu Clinics
We
ask that everyone arrive ON TIME to our outdoor
FLU clinics; and ask that everyone wear a
mask, including all children unless they younger
than 2 years of age. Please dress
children in loose clothing. Please note that
children under 3 will receive their FLU vaccine
in their thigh.
We
will not be able to accommodate last minute
appointments, or addons due to the process we
will have in place to assure everyone’s safety
by adhering to social distancing as mandated by
the CDC and State of New Jersey.
All
patients will receive a “FLU CHECK-IN PACKET”,
once they check in at our check-in table; and
then you will proceed to one of our FLU
tents. You will then hand the packet
to a nurse, receive your shot and leave with a
copy of the vaccine record promptly.
